Description
The Second Edition of Nutrition: An Applied Approach, presents introductory nutrition information to non-majors in an applied format that discourages memorization and promotes long-term understanding of the material. The authors capitalize on students’ natural interest in nutrition by demonstrating how it relates to their health and their everyday lives, and by addressing- and debunking- commonly held misconceptions students have. The applied nature of the book is also reflected in the functional organization of the micronutrient chapters.

Summary: "Nutrition book"
The book was not in as good of shape as the product was listed in. It was listed in very good condition and at best, it was in fair condition. I did receive the product in a timely manner though!

Summary: "Basic Nutrition made simple"
I purchased this book for a nutrition class this semester and it was simple. It included a copy of the Diet Analysis and allowed me to follow with my class even with the newer edition. I received an A in the class and it was mostly due to the book. In the back of the book there is a glossary of food items with their calories and vitamins which is very helpful for someone creating a healthful diet.
